Better Half

[Verse 1]
Well, it seems like I can't do a thing right
Always have to think twice before I say a word
And it feels like walking on a landmine
Where I'm always the bad guy
But that's what you prefer

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've cried more tears than I ever have
For my so-called better half
Will it all get better? 'Cause
I know this can't ever last

[Chorus]
When it's one step forward and two steps backwards
To the same old story and same old pattern
Where you shut me out and play the victim
Tear me down and make me listen
One step forward and two steps backwards
Every time I'm trying to just move past it
You make it out like I'm the villain
So, why am I still tryna fix it?

[Verse 2]
Well, it's been like tip-toeing on thin ice
So sick of all the bad nights, but so scared to be alone
And I know that every time I go back
And every time I hope that
You've changed, you'll prove me wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
And I've cried more tears than I ever have
For my so-called better half
Will it all get better? 'Cause
I know this can't ever last

[Chorus]
When it's one step forward and two steps backwards
To the same old story and same old pattern
Where you shut me out and play the victim
Tear me down and make me listen
One step forward and two steps backwards
Every time I'm trying to just move past it
You make it out like I'm the villain
So, why am I still tryna fix it?
